Police involved in shooting in southwest Albuquerque
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – One person is injured following an officer-involved shooting in southwest Albuquerque Friday afternoon. According to the Albuquerque Police Department, a male was shot by an officer near the 2100 block of South Branch Dr., which is north of Gibson Blvd. and east of Messina Dr., S.W.
APD said they were called around 12:30 p.m. to the home due to a fight. When they arrived, a 21-year-old man walked out with a gun, possibly a BB gun or airsoft, and aimed it at officers. At least one officer fired their gun, hitting the man.
'We are learning the individual does have a mental history that goes back. Apparently, there was some kind of commotion today within the home, and he's the one who actually called officers. He was breathing when he was transported to the hospital, and is currently at the hospital going through surgery,' said Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina.
No officers were injured during the shooting. No other information about the shooting has been released at this time. KRQE News 13 will provide updates as more information is released.
